Johnny Depp H8's Saying "Cheese"


Despite being one of the world's most handsome men, Johnny Depp hates photo shoots so much, he compares them to violent sexual assault. He tells Nick Tosches in Vanity Fair, "Well, you just feel like you're being raped somehow. Raped ... It feels like a kind of weird -- just weird, man." He'll pose with fans, "But whenever you have a photo shoot or something like that, it's like -- you just feel dumb. It's just so stupid." Depp says his next project, "The Rum Diary," came straight out of Hunter S. Thompson's basement. He was staying with the writer researching the 1998 movie "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" when they came upon Thompson's forgotten novel in boxes in his basement. "I pulled it out. I was like 'What is this?' Hunter was like, "Oh, [bleep], 'The Rum Diary' ... Hunter didn't know it was there." Depp prides himself on edgy projects. But he's finally settled his grudge against Harvey Weinstein for putting his 2004 "The Libertine'' in limited release: "He basically said he [bleep]ed it ... He made a choice to kill it, Harvey killed a great film." (Page Six)
